No Substitutions, Please

Th time may be coming when if I do not have to close my blog, I will have to acknowledge what it is, and what it isn't.

For those who have followed me for the years Latter Day Musings has been up, this has been a spiritual journey - a journey of insights, of musings, of thoughts, experiences, some travels, some humor, some history, some family stories.

As the world changes, so must we in response if we are to keep ahead of things and in the things the Lord has for us. 

In some ways, like many I've enjoyed and seen their blogs and such "mature" over time, I am not certain if I am as well, or my blog has reached the end of it's intended life and purpose.

There are many things in here which cannot be construed, nor should they, to be the ultimate declarations of faith, testimony, and certainly not doctrine.  Some are stepping stones to further knowledge, and later on I often seem to be disagreeing with myself much earlier. 

At this point I have an impressive 900+ entries in here, whether they go away or not, I don't know yet.

But for now, I am wary in a world where personal blogs become substitutions for or distractions from church doctrine - and I'm always wary of starting a spiritual hobby on sacred things, or being considered one or being confused for one or the other.  The number of reads on there are pretty low, and I keep it that way.   But again, times are changing, I'm entering a public light more and more and in time I know my thoughts and all other character shortcomings or any other excuse that will be made to detract from me are coming. 

Fr now I'm not certain what will become of this blog, but I may have to make a decision as to what to do in days and times to come soon, but if this is no longer here, know that I have been told to remove it - meanwhile I thank you for your blessings of having been a reader to this. 

I thank you again and I give praise and thanks to our Lord for what I have been granted here.

For now I close, in Jesus' name, amen.
